...Yes! Good to see he is OK. The nose job performed as designed, forcing the gear leg to bend up higher, and no flip over. This, I am curtain had to be a very frightening experience. We all hope it or similar Doesn't come our way. Thanks, Allan...:D
 
Holiday greetings

I see that photobucket will happily send you holiday greeting cards with the image on them. Ah the Internet! Actually maybe good idea for Antisplat!:rolleyes:

I noticed that, too, and thought it was funny. But I'm thinking the owner doesn't think it's funny right about now. :rolleyes:
 
I bet the pilot is counting his lucky stars right now and patting himself on the back that he purchased the Anti Splat.

...I went back and read the first post in this thread, and I am not sure the guy that this happened to, actually is aware that his photos have been posted? I also think the greeting card thing is a little weird. Thanks, Allan...:confused:

What kind of exhaust tips does he have on there?

......I think they are an attempt to quiet the exhaust down. They are closed off on the ends, can't imagine a more flow disrupting way to do it. Must really hurt the performance. :confused:
 
Exhaust

They are a variation of exhaust tips used by Steve Wittman for years on several of his airplanes.
They do reduce the noise a bit and have minimal if any effect on performance.
